Corporate RiskManagement Council

Meeting of persons in charge ofenvironmental conservation

KUBOTA conducts its corporate activities in strict accordance with proper work standards to ensure full compliance with all applicable laws and to prevent environmental problems and minimize environmental risks, while also implementing inspections and maintenance as necessary for the optimal operation of machines and equipment. Based on the premise that an environmental accident may

occur at any time, we have established accident-response procedures to control contamination and carry out regular training to prepare for unusual events and emergencies. KUBOTA is fully prepared to cope with any serious environmental problem that may arise, promoting crisis-response management on a company-wide basis.

Environmental risk management

At this plant, a safety drill was conducted in order to prepare for the possibility of spillage of coating materials at our hazardous material warehouse. (June 25, 2008)

Drill example for abnormal or emergency conditions (Tochigi Plant, KUBOTA Air Conditioner, Co., Ltd.)

Environmental Risk Management

Instructions were given to the employees participating in the drill. Water was used in place of coating materials.

Sand was scattered to absorb the coating materials. Absorbents were placed around the spill to prevent its further spread.


If we are to promote environmentally-friendly corporate activities, we have to increase environmental awareness among all of our KUBOTA Group members. The first step in addressing environmental problems is to become aware of the problems. At KUBOTA, we implement regular position-specific educational programs so that our employees can learn about environmental problems. Systematic and specialized education is also being carried out in order to make a satisfactory response to environmental issues. We are aiming at improving our

abilities and at an increase in qualified personnel. All of this is tied to the assured practice of environmental conservation.In addition, we participate in environmental education programs offered by external groups and, during June of each year which is Environmental Month, we organize tours of companies with advanced environmental policies. We will continue our efforts to enhance our environmental education qualitatively and quantitatively into FY2010.

Cooperation inthe educationof outsideorganizations

Environmental accounting is employed in order to reflect back into our business activities as much as possible the quantitative comprehension and analysis of the costs of environmental conservation and the effects that are obtained from those activities, and to promote a wider understanding of KUBOTA’s participation in environmental conservation activities by disclosing information to internal and external stakeholders.

Environmental conservation costsInvestment in environmental conservation amounted to 1,100 million yen, a decrease of 430 million yen from the previous year. Environmental costs increased by 1,150 million yen from the previous year to reach 9,140 million yen. Research and development cost totaled 5,650 million yen, which accounts for about 62% of all the expenditures for the year.

Environmental Accounting (Data for business sites in Japan)


Environmental conservation effectsAir pollutant (SOx) emissions decreased due to the reduced operating hours of the diesel generators at some of our business sites. However, waste disposal at landfill sites increased due to a decline in the number of steel slag recycling companies and a temporary increase in waste resulting from the discontinuance of FW pipe manufacturing.

Effects of cost reduction through zero-emission(Data for business sites in Japan)The reduction, reuse and resource recycling associated with waste contributed to lowered outsourcing fees for waste processing and generated an effect of 61 million yen in cost reductions for the year.

Environmental accounting principles1) The period covered spans from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009.2) The data of business sites in Japan are considered in the calculation.3) Data was calculated in accordance with the Environmental Accounting

Guidelines 2005, published by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment.4) “Expenses” includes depreciation costs. Depreciation cost was calculated based on the standards applied to

KUBOTA’s financial accounting, and assets acquired in and after 1998 were considered in the calculation.

“Management activities” and “R&D” costs include personnel expenses. “Environmental remediation” costs do not include costs incurred during

disposal of construction waste at construction sites. The cost of “R&D” represents that which was spent on environmental

purposes, calculated on a pro-rate basis.5) “Economic effects” are obtained only by adding up tangible results and do not

include estimated effects.

Calculation of CO2 Emissions

Conversion Coefficient

Calculation of CO2 Emissions during Distribution

Fuel: Coefficients are used from the “Table of heat generation by energy source” (revised on March 30, 2001) (Agency for Natural Resources and Energy).Electricity: 9.83MJ/kWh is used from the “Enforcement ordinance of Low Concerning the Rational Use of Energy” (revised on December 27, 2002).

●in and before FY 2005

It is calculated using the formula below.Carbon dioxide equivalent (t-CO2) = carbon equivalent (t-C)×3.664And coefficients are used from the “Report on survey on carbon dioxide emissions (1992)” (Environment Agency).Coefficients are used from the “Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Businesses” (draft Ver.1.5) (July 2003, Ministry of the Environment).

●from FY 2005

Fuel: Coefficients are used from the “Department regulation concerning calculation of greenhouse gas emissions from the business activities of the specified polluters” (March, 2006; the third department regulation of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of the Environment).Electricity: Coefficients are used from the Department regulation above and emission coefficients by electricity supplier for domestic values.For calculating overseas emissions, coefficients are used from the “Report on estimated survey on carbon dioxide emissions per unit electric generation in electric generation divisions in each country-Ver.3 (June 2006)” (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association).

●from FY 2006 to FY 2008

Fuel: Utilizes the coefficients stipulated in the Manual for Calculation and Report of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Ver. 2.4 (March 2009) (Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Electricity: Emission coefficients published by electricity suppliers are used for calculating domestic emissions. For calculating overseas emissions, coefficients are used from the “Report on estimated survey on carbon dioxide emissions per unit electric generation in electric generation divisions in each country-Ver.3 (June 2006)” (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association).

●in FY 2009

It is calculated using the values in the item of “energy consumption to carry a baggage of one metric ton in a distance of one kilometer (in FY 2004)” in the “Directory of energy relating to transportation for 2006” (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport).

●in FY 2005:

It is calculated using the values in the item of “energy consumption to carry a baggage of one metric ton in a distance of one kilometer (in FY 2005)” in the “Directory of energy relating to transportation for 2007” (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport).

●in FY 2006

CO2 emissions are calculated using the improved ton-kilometer method stipulated in the Manual for Calculation and Report of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Ver. 2.4 (March 2009) (Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). (CO2 emissions = ton-kilometer transported x fuel consumption per ton-kilometer (calculated by the improved ton-kilometer method) x per-unit calorific value x emission coefficient x 44/12)



*Heat conversion coefficients

*CO2 emissions per unit ton-kilometer in truck transportation

*Carbon dioxide emission coefficients

●The values are used in the item of “carbon dioxide emissions per ton-kilometer of transportation by transport vehicle” in the “Manual for Calculation and Report of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Ver.2.4)” (March 2009, Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).

*CO2 emissions per unit ton-kilometer except for truck transportation

●Only KUBOTA itself is targeted in FY 2005. Some subsidiaries and affiliates also become targets in and after FY 2006.

*Targeted area of calculation of CO2 emissions is gradually expanding.

●Only plants and factories of KUBOTA are targets in FY 1991. Non-production sites and subsidiaries also become the targets in and after FY 2005. The number of targeted business places is increasing.

●Beginning from the CSR Report 2008, CO2 emissions from the Residential Housing Materials Division, which was spun off from the KUBOTA Group into a separate company in December 2003, are excluded from the KUBOTA Group’s total CO2 emissions. Accordingly, the amount of CO2 emissions during FY 1991 shown in this report is smaller than the amount disclosed in the past.

●Greenhouse gases other than energy-originated carbon dioxide are newly added to calculation in and after FY 2007. But the values which were calculated in and before FY 2006 are not recalculated.

* Beginning from 2007, emissions for the period from January to December are shown for HFC, PFC, and SF6.

*Targeted area of calculation of CO2 emissions


Coefficients are used from the “Enforcement ordinance of Low Concerning the Rational Use of Energy” (revised on March 29, 2006).
